I suspect at the very least he'll also need the ECU, and will also require it to be programmed to the car. Mainly for security reasons.

As Big Dave2 said the ECU will definately need programmed as well as the 1.6 will have different fueling parameters etc so it would need programmed to accommodate that as I would imagine it would run lean.

You may well run into problems with the programming of the ECU.
As you would find that every module has a part number and RPO code build dates etc which are all coded into it, when your VIN is put into SPS it will only allow you to program what should be fitted to your car.
You would therefor need to apply for a VCI and they have become very strict on what they will & will not approve.
Astra-J 2.0 CDTI S/S
Retrofitted AFL, TPMS, Navi950, BT, DAB, Rear Camera, Infinity sound system, Towbar, Flexfloor & more.
I can do programming and retrofits using genuine GM MDI and Dealer software.
